SDCC 2014.

Here be Comic-Con goodies, such as the SDCC Official Panel 2014 - Penguins of Madagascar & Sherlock by Flicks and the City, which is over 34 (!) minutes long and is a group interview.

If you can't listen right now, a few highlights are at MoviePilot.  Other highlights are at Hypable.

Flicks and the City will have another panel about The Hobbit, which I'll post later on, after it hits Youtube.  8)

Anglophenia has 10 Best Moments from Benedict Cumberbatch’s Comic-Con Debut, which includes something I've neglected; the penguins!  Also a video.

Cumberbatched, or Benedict in wax:  His figure will be with the A-list at the Madame Tussaud museum.  "Finally I can photobomb myself!" Ben jokes.

So, how did you celebrate Ben's 38th birthday on Saturday?

Radio Times points out that Ben's birthday trended on Twitter... worldwide.  Well done, fandom!  8D

Saturday is Ben's birthday...

And I won't be online.

So if you are -- and I'm hoping you are for a bit -- please make sure to check out all the charities sponsored in Ben's name.

Batch of Kindness is on 19-July in particular because Ben asked us to share with others.  The Cumbercollective is definitely stepping up to the plate as requested; we have a brilliant and generous fandom.

Sadly I have to share my Emmy nomination with @michael__price who is equally responsible for the nominated noise made. #Sherlockmusic

SK Confessional says rumors are already flying about Ben in Frozen 2, if the dream-casting goes as planned.

SK Confessional: I’m obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch, and here's why.

2014 Emmy nominations, Comic-Con...

Emmy Awards 2014: Sherlock scoops nominations -- which really means Team Sherlock and Fargo!  Plus 12 Years a Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor got a nomination for another show.

It's turning into the 6 Degrees from Team Sherlock game!
